Hi,

What does your .cloginrc file look like? I'd hazard a guess that something
is missing in there.

The following config should work for your device

add user 10.10.10.7 username
add password 10.10.10.7 {password}
add autoenable 10.10.10.7 1

You can always run clogin 10.10.10.7 (without all the options) to see if
your .cloginrc file is being used correctly.

Cheers,

Gabba

Hello!
I am having some pretty aggravating issues getting a Cisco Cat switch
working in Rancid. Perhaps I'm missing something dumb? I'm hoping someone
out there can hit me with the clue-by-four.
I am using Rancid 2.3.1 on a FreeBSD box. The "cisco" devices I have set
up poll just fine. This is the only cat5 device I'm attempting to poll so I
can't say I've ever gotten one to work before. Just the same, clogin seems
to work when I run it manually.
Here's an example of clogin working fine with the cat5 switch. It does
rancid$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin -autoenable -c "write term" -f
/home/rancid/.cloginrc -u rancid -p (masked) -t 30
10.10.10.7
spawn telnet 10.10.10.7
Trying 10.10.10.7...
Connected to 10.10.10.7.
